Reports of Arab employers maltreating their domestic helpers are very common to this columnist. But the experience of Maricel Bubos, 28, in the hands of her Saudi masters takes the cake.
Maricel showed me the many whip marks and scars on her back caused by shallow stab wounds, her hands that she could not clench because of scars caused by flat iron burns, her right eye that has gone blind because it was poked with a stick, her disfigured feet caused by beatings using hard wood.
Maricel’s employers were Muhammad Abdullah Alkatani, allegedly a police general, and his wife Najela Hadawi Alkatani.
There was a time, she said, when she and another Filipino maid were made to stand stark naked under the heat of the sun for hours. Full story...
